Information On Proximity To Certain Areas - Ottobock 8E51 Gebrauchsanweisung

► In the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position of the electrodes
should be checked and changed if necessary.
If the interference cannot be eliminated or if you do not achieve the expected results by
►
adjustment or selection of the appropriate control programme, please contact the Ottobock
branch responsible for your country.
CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
► Set the electrode sensitivity as low as possible in order to reduce interference from powerful
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible or or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores), metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters, trans­
former stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings due to muscle fatigue
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the product.
► Allow the patient to rest during the adjustment of the electrodes.
CAUTION
Establishing a connection between the skin and metal components of the prosthesis
with the use of carbon fibre
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour as a result of interference conducted by carbon
fibres.
► During fabrication, make sure that no connection is formed between the skin and metal pros­
thesis components by carbon fibres.
INFORMATION
Do not use silicone spray when putting on the prosthetic glove. This impairs the secure fit of the
glove.
Observe the instructions for use provided for the prosthetic glove and the process for putting it
on and taking it off described in the same.

4.5 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention
systems, metal detectors)
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the prosthesis system caused by interference with internal
data communication.
► Avoid remaining in the vicinity of visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores, metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters,
transformer stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
► When walking through theft prevention systems, body scanners or metal detectors, watch
for unexpected behaviour of the prosthetic system.
